Pull the parking brake lever up fully to securely apply the parking brake. 3. With the brake pedal pressed down, shift the selector lever to the "P" position. CAUTION Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping. CAUTION Never attempt to move the selector lever into "P" position under any circumstances while the vehicle is moving. Serious mechanical damage and loss of vehicle control may result. (g) Good driving practice NOTICE Always use the brake pedal or the parking brake to hold the vehicle on an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold the vehicle using the accelerator pedal, as this can cause the transmission to overheat. (h) If you cannot move the selector lever out of "P" position If you cannot shift the selector lever from the "P" position even though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override button. For instructions, see "If you cannot shift automatic transmission selector lever" on page 244 in Section 4.

Be sure to shift the selector lever to the "D" position immediately afterward. NOTICE Never shift into reverse while the vehicle is moving. D When towing a trailer, in order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use "D" position. The selector lever must be in the "3" position. 2007 YARIS HATCHBACK from Feb. '07Prod. (OM52754U) 127
